…I mean, Massachusetts has strict gun control laws. You’re not allowed to have a firearm without permission! How could this have happened?

Via @iowahawkblog: alas, David Burge was unable to restrain himself from saying something both profane and highly appropriate for this ‘revelation.’ Of course the Boston Marathon bombers got their guns illegally. Outlaws, remember? – Those guys are, as a group, most likely to have firearms – even when firearms are otherwise unobtainable. Hrm. There’s a saying in there, somewhere…

PS: But, hey: at least Massachusetts Democrats are making it harder for law-abiding people to get a gun. So, partial credit for effort?

PPS: The AP article also notes that the bombers did not let their hostage go; the hostage instead managed to make a run for it while distracted. As you might recall, the hostage had a Coexist sticker on his car; I recommend that he acquire the following items in response.
